  2. You are doing great job. Might explain why Cali is motherly. (did they loose their mother?) Stylus and Cable might be a little competitive. Long known feud between Chevy and Ford owners

  3. What do your characters eat for breakfast, what brand of toothpaste do they use, are they dog or cat people, do they wear socks with holes??? Questions like these and many more will really fill out your character sketch. Pretend you hang out with them on Saturday night, how would you know them if you closed your eyes and someone started talking. Once you can "hear" their voices, get started, they will evolve as you write.
